love this little gopro. took a quick video test.

Used my android phone to remote view and control. Settings are 1080p @ 30fps. Protune off, spot - on.

It's almost as if the reason Stags have twin sunroofs is to give you perfect in car cam mounts! Nice angle!

bought my stag a few months ago started running crap last friday so i though ill change the fuel filter....still shit!! so i got some spark plugs and thought if this isnt it ill have to get some splitfires popped the cover off and there they are SPLITFIRES!!!!!! sweet, spark plugs were stuffed

Serviced yesterday at Jaustech. Ditched the malfunctioning Gizzmo EBC in favour of a simple Turbosmart Boost Tee.

They tuned it and made 172kw... apparently the turbo isn't holding boost otherwise it would've made over 200 apparently. Looking into a Hypergear high flow, but still sussing out my options!

^ "turbo not holding boost"

Something has been lost in translation here? Do you have a dyno print out?

Yep this is highly possible... :) Dyno results below:

hmmm that is a nasty boost drop off.

Do you have a manual or electronic boost controller? If so how is it hooked up?

If not....maybe there is a blockage in the exhaust like a collapsed cat. Boost should stay at the set level, especially with the stock setup

Got my wheels fitted, bushes installed (2 out of the 3 at least, uppers didnt need to be done iirc), coilovers installed and sway bar appropriately adjusted. To say its a minor change would be a huge understatement. Feels SO much tighter and more connected to the road, stoked with the results. I rekon it looks alright too :)

Nice! That's a lot of handling improvement in one go! Must feel totally different. Gone with the BCs?

Day and night difference. Kicking myself for not going down this route years ago!

I picked up some JIC Coilovers from YAJ some months ago. The rear shocks were apparently crazy short though, so we've not fitted them - I've got Nismo rear shocks in there. Dunno what the deal was with that is, they look new - they technically 'fit' but the length of them sitting on a desk is shorter than the compressed height of the one in my car currently.

They installed a Turbosmart Boost Tee that day because the EBC was playing up... I can't really tell you how it is hooked up sorry :/

Other mods are:

Greddy Front Mount Intercooler

3" Full stainless steel Fujitsubo exhaust and stainless steel front pipe with 3" Venom 200cpi hi-flow cat

Nistune ECU

Nismo High-Flow Volume Fuel Pump

HKS Panel Filter

Thanks Ryan - I agree, they provide the perfect spot. The back sunroof gives such a massive shot. Too much interior though.

I used a stripped down GPS suction cup mount and secured to the stock waterproof housing as per normal.

About a month ago i finished making my air intake for the stagea. I had started part of it ages ago but never finished it completely.

Temperature at the air filter is up to 6 degrees above ambient on the highway and up to 10 degrees above ambient when stopped and idling for 10mins. This is measured with a multimeter temp probe, the sensor infront of the air filter and also the M1 Yatala digital temp sign!

The old SMIC deflector got a new lease of life to seal to the bonnet and shield around the air filter.

Another thing I have done is used the original boost solenoid to control my bov. I wanted the choice of no bov (flutter), bov (sssschoooooo hks ssq) and something inbetween and random (flutflutschooo) ??

I have run the stock vacuum line from inlet plenum to solenoid, solenoid then goes to "T" piece at bov. 1 part of T goes to bov, the other has a short line with a tiny bee's dick bleed hole. Solenoid is controlled by a button on my gear stick RHS thumb operated.

The solenod is normally closed and will not let vacuum see the bov (flutter)

When i press the button on shift, the bov see's vacuum and a tiny bit is lost to bleed - but is necessary to allow the bov to close when the solenoid closes. Otherwise the solenoid closes with vacuum in the line holding bov open.

The cool bit is it works.

Decided to sell my car. Saddened by this but *insert marriage/house excuse here*

Mine doesn't have sunroof, struggling to find a nice spot to mount it. Tried the rear left window but can't see much on the road....

+1, still haven't bought a suction mount but im thinking a sneaky mount inside the interior light housing could work

haha yeah, been thinking about that light housing... was thinking of mounting it on my cargo net somehow, like use the horizontal pole but that would give a really wide view of the interior.

Thought you were Jezboosted for a second and was confused as, dam yellow stags lol

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
